"To us, trips feel like we're out doing the things we love with a group of good friends and that's exactly how it is at Hidden Valleys."- Grant South (Southy)

New Zealand River Rafting Trips & Adventure Tours

Welcome to Hidden Valleys, New Zealand’s finest provider of multi-day river journeys and day trips in the South Island of New Zealand. All trips are tailored into a personal package with options to suit everyone. We can arrange all transport and accommodation on request.

Multi-Day River Rafting Tours

Most of our trips consist of 2-5 days of rafting/camping complemented with campfire cooking. Multi-day river rafting isn’t necessarily about rapids and white water, but about getting away from modern distractions and sharing the experience with the company of friends and family, both out on the river and around the Campfire in the evenings.

White Water Heli-Rafting Day Trips

Hidden Valleys offers white-water rafting trips accessible only by helicopter or hiking in. We give you the opportunity to be one of the very few people able to experience the unique rivers that flow coastward from the South Island’s Main Divide and Southern Alps.

Alpine Hiking Tours

Hidden Valleys gives you the chance to hike over high alpine passes and into the headwaters of the many remote rivers we raft. The hiking trips we offer are challenging, but rewarding. We give you the opportunity to cross the South Island’s Main Divide, The Southern Alps.

River Rafting Day Trips

Our full or half day river rafting trips cater for all levels of expertise and provide a unique way to experience New Zealand’s spectacular scenery including deep gorges, stunning mountain ranges, beautiful forests and crystal-clear waters.

Tailored Adventure Tours

Many of the rafting tours and hiking trips Hidden Valleys has to offer can be tailored into a personal New Zealand adventure for families, Corporate groups, sports teams or other special interest groups.
